Chapter Eighty-Six: The Gray Mist
Hearing the man say this, Leo felt more and more that he was Hesfer, and the reason for the kidnapping of the moon elf seemed to be gradually revealed.
Perhaps, that person did not change his body, but only made some changes to his original body, and maybe even obtained the blood of those moon elves. This can be seen from the fact that he can give Lenny blood.
This is a different method from extracting the essence of the bloodline, the extremely evil method.
But what is he going to do?
Leo still doesn't know, or is he just just trying to improve his strength, and transforming his body into a moon elf is also more suitable for concealment?
And his ritual comes from which powerful being in the lower realm, and what kind of connection does they have?
Just as Leo was full of doubts, the man spoke again, "Step aside, now I'm going to get to work." When you're done, you take the woman back. ”
"Take it back?" Lenny hurriedly jumped off the altar, but he didn't understand what the other man meant.
The man replied with a blank face, "Yes, this time I will erase her consciousness, and then you can take her back." Of course, her bloodline will be greatly weakened, but it will not be visible in the short term. Now the situation is getting more and more serious, and we have to be more careful. ”
"Okay, I see. "Lenny was as obedient as a lamb. In his heart, the person in front of him is the supreme master, and only by being more loyal to him can he gain more power.
The man was pleased with Lenny's attitude, and waved his hand.
With just a simple action, the Moon Elf Girl's clothes instantly turned into powder, and her body floated uncontrollably, landing accurately on the altar.
The man walked silently. Standing on the fingers, he swiped the girl's forehead and limbs a few times.
It seemed that the movements were light and did not exert force, but Leo found that as the man's movements ended, five strange blood-red symbols appeared on the girl's forehead and limbs.
The next moment. Low, stiff words came out of the man's mouth.
Affected, the girl's body began to shake violently, but it never left the altar, and blood seeped out of the symbol.
Looking at this scene, Illitya's face turned pale. An innocent compatriot is being treated inhumanely right before his eyes, but he can't do anything about it. Because both he and Leo knew very well that the strength of that person was far beyond imagination, once discovered. The two didn't even have a chance to escape.
After just a few seconds, a large amount of blood was already flowing from the girl's body. The man's voice grew louder and higher.
Suddenly, strange fluctuations came again, and the blood was pulled by some force, floating into the air, condensing into a blood ball, and still surging.
Looking at it like this, it seems to be very similar to the blood beads that Lenny got before.
No doubt. This blood cell is supposed to be the polymer of the girl's blood power.
"But how can he fuse this untreated bloodline essence?" Leo himself will make bloodline essence. I also know that it is impossible to absorb the power of the primordial bloodline, so I don't understand this question.
To his surprise, in the next second, the man opened his mouth and swallowed the blood ball into his stomach in one gulp.
“......”
Leo never dreamed that the method of fusion would be so simple and straightforward.
But after the man devoured the blood cells. It doesn't seem to be very good.
The uncontrolled power of the primordial bloodline was causing an unbearable impact on his body.
His originally pale complexion turned blood-red, and even though he was far away, Leo could still feel the heat he emanated, faintly. You can also see that his skin is constantly cracking and recovering.
"What the hell is this...... Leo suddenly realized that the things in front of him were beyond his cognition, and completely belonged to another power system that could not be guessed.
At this time, Illitya, who was beside him, gently tugged at his sleeve and said with his mouth, "It's time for us to go." ”
Leo couldn't understand what he meant.
Right now, that person is not in a good state, and it is a good time to retreat, in case he waits until he completely fuses his bloodline and shifts his attention to the surroundings, then he wants to leave, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.
Nodding silently, Leo began to retreat with the slightest movement.
The two of them retreated a hundred meters away, but just when they thought they had reached a safe distance, a shrill whistling came from the depths of the cave.
"He's done?" Leo had just come to the thought, and a majestic consciousness overcame him.
Although it is not clear whether this consciousness is a natural phenomenon after the completion of bloodline fusion, or if there is something wrong with itself, which attracted the idea. But Leo knew that in such a strong fluctuation of consciousness, he must have been exposed.
"Let's go!" Illidia also noticed this, and instantly turned into a cheetah, rushing towards the outside of the cave as fast as she could.
Since he was not sure if the other party would be able to confirm his identity, Leo still did not choose to use magic in this desperate moment, because the number of mages in the Supreme Forest was too scarce, even if they were not discovered, as long as the magic was perceived, it was not difficult to contact him.
Correspondingly, Leo chose to activate the magic weapon and the red dragon bloodline at the same time, and his physical fitness instantly competed several times, allowing him to obtain the super high speed of not weak and Illidia.
Sure enough, although he didn't actively investigate, as his consciousness fluctuated, the man noticed something unusual.
Leo was well aware that a denser perception should follow.
But no matter how fast the speed of the two is, there is no chance to compare to the detection of perception, and even if that person can't have any strong spiritual power and can't perceive too many details, it will definitely not be a problem to distinguish the basic situation.
At the very least, it was impossible for him to treat two living creatures as lifeless stones.
Unless you can get out of the range of perception within a second or two, you will inevitably be chased by that person!
"Damn, there was an accident!" he thought to chagrin. But now there is no other way but to run with all your might, and maybe there is a chance to use the terrain to evade the pursuit.
The entrance to the cave is already in sight. Perception is also going to be covered.
"Hurry, hurry!" The premonition of danger sent a chill down Leo's back, and he desperately moved his legs while praying that the man's perception range would not be too large.
At this moment, a gray mist suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The speed was so fast that the two couldn't stop at all. Crashed into it.
After a few steps, Leo had come out of the gray fog, and by this time he found himself outside the cave.
The oppressive perceptual exploration seems to have been affected by the gray fog and disappeared without a trace.
In the current situation, Leo couldn't see that someone had come to the aid and used the strange mist to intercept the perception of the person in the cave. Help yourself escape.
But who was that man, and what did he want to do?
Illidia saw this, too, and even in cheetah form, Leo could see his doubts.
At this time, a familiar female voice came from not far away: "This way!"
Leo hurriedly followed the sound, only to find that a person was standing next to a large tree not far away.
"Vanessa, why are you ......" Leo really didn't expect her to be here, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Vanessa complained, "You guys were too careless. I actually provoked that kind of guy, hurry up. My shadow fog curtain won't last long!"
Even though he was confused, Leo knew that now was not a good time to speak, and hurriedly greeted Illida, who was also confused, and quickly followed Vanessa's footsteps.
............
An hour later, the three of them broke away from the confines of Summer Springs Valley at a great speed, and only then were they in the shade of a hidden hill. Stopped.
After a long and fast run, even though Leo had won the Tour of the Island Race at the Ravington School of Magic, he was still out of breath and sweating at the moment.
However, Illidia seems to be quite normal, after all, he can transform into a reindeer form. It's perfect for long walks.
As for Vanessa, as an extremely gifted assassin, this distance was nothing to her.
As soon as she sat down, Vanessa immediately crossed her arms and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with you?"
Leo gasped a few times, finally soothed his hot lungs, and asked, "You can come to save us, don't you know what's going on?"
"Of course I don't know!" Vanessa glanced at Leo and continued, "Father was worried that you wouldn't be able to complete your mission, so he asked me to follow you, but I didn't expect you to really be able to get into trouble." Who the hell is that guy in the cave, and why does it give me a sense of danger?"
"So you don't know. Leo smiled wryly and told the situation and a series of speculations he had analyzed so far.
A few minutes later, after the whole story was finished, Vanessa frowned and muttered, "You mean, that guy is the Hesfell you mentioned earlier?"
Leo nodded, "I think so. Although he has changed his appearance now, he gives me a very similar feeling, and they are all related to demons, there will be no such coincidence in the world, right?"
"Hmm......" Vanessa pondered.
After a while, she spoke again: "I know about this, and then I will ask my father for his opinion." Let's go, and we will return to Tedasis at once. ”
"Now?" Leo's eyes widened, his legs still aching, and he had the strength to continue on his way.
Vanessa replied angrily, "Nonsense, right now, though my Shadow Veil can completely isolate his perception, so that he can't tell who you are." But if he's watching, will he let it go, or do you want to fight him?"
"Okay......" Leo nodded helplessly, of course, not wanting to face the monster, propping himself up, and his eyes fell on Illida.
The meaning was obvious, and he wanted to let Illidia take him back as he had done when he came.
Unexpectedly, Illidia, who has always been very talkative, turned her head away and pretended not to notice anything.
............
In the morning, the trio finally entered Tedasis.
Due to Vanessa's special position here, they were allowed to enter without any additional interrogation.
However, Leo sensed that Vanessa was very careful and seemed to be avoiding something, which also reminded him of the several Moon Elf guards that morning.
Back at Leo's home at 10 Oak Leaf, Leo was already waiting for them and had prepared breakfast in advance. And this time, because something unexpected happened, after asking Vanessa's permission, Illidia also followed. However, Isha is still not at home, and it seems that she should go to training.
While eating breakfast, Vanessa relayed what she had learned to Leo.
This middle-aged man, who suddenly aged a lot, did not feel surprised, and under his calm appearance, there were no emotional fluctuations.
It's just that he seems to be quite concerned about this matter, and has been asking Leo and Illidia all kinds of details.
However, when it comes to the Demon Hunter Legacy, Leo doesn't say it, after all, it's Illida's most important secret.
After everything was understood, Leo said helplessly: "That Lenny's leg injury has been healed, so my mission should have failed." ”
Leo smiled and shook his head, "It shouldn't be considered your failure, your appearance will inevitably cause that person's doubts, so I speculate that Lenny may not come back in a short time." With such results, Bedar may hand over the information he has obtained to you, not to mention, this time the task is obviously more difficult than it should be, and it is impossible for him to smash his own signboard. “
Hearing Leo say this, Leo was immediately relieved. The matter between the moon elf and that monster was only happened by chance, and in fact there was not much direct relationship. If you can help a little, it can be regarded as indirectly helping Illida, if it really doesn't work, there is no need to force it at all.
With this in mind, he asked, "Uncle Leo, what do you think about this?"
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, the strength of the two of you is not enough, so don't interfere. Leo replied, looked at the druid again, and said, "Illida, I don't understand a little bit, why didn't you report this matter?"
"Uh......" Illidia was speechless.
As the other party said, his behavior is indeed very suspicious. As a moon elf, he discovered the enemy's situation, but secretly hid it, and anyone who knew it would be suspicious. However, Illidia was very relieved that at least Leo didn't say anything about himself. (To be continued......)
